The Kids are Not All Right: The impact of extreme parental permissiveness on child and adult development and on family life.

For several generations a trend of extreme parental permissiveness has had a deep reach into the essence of the parent child relationship. Fueled by anxiety and uncertainty a curious role reversal has taken place wherein parents look to their children for direction. This trend has profoundly affected child development, parenthood as a developmental stage, marriage and family life. Understanding the dynamics of these families will help us widen our therapeutic focus.

Deborah F. Glazer

From Dyad to Triad: Navigating the transition from LGBT couple to parenthood.

The transition to parenthood can be complicated for LGBT individuals who have grown up in a heterocentric environment. This talk will focus on the experience of LGBT couples and individuals as they navigate the processes of coming out, making the decision to parent, coping with the intra psychic and relational implications of alternative reproductive technologies, and organizing the experience of gender and parenting roles.

Renee Goldman

Psychoanalysis Later in Life: A clinician’s perspective as analyst and patientThe author addresses how her transition into “growing old” has been psychologically and philosophically affected by her own new analysis begun at age 80. The paper also explores the profundity of losses experienced by this older population, and the special role of transference in the analytic relationship, including clinical examples.

Clinicians routinely encounter technology-mediated intimacies. But standard theories do not provide insight into necessary questions: How do these relationships work? What are the limits to the experiences they afford when they work well? What causes them to break-down and stop working? Using clinical examples, this presentation presents a model for understanding technology-mediated intimacies.

Moderator: Judith Rosenberger

Each presentation will be followed by a dialogue among the panelists and audience.
